To: The Future (Letter) - Aleenah

 RE (Week 4 Pt 2)

Continuing on our reflection, My class was to piece a letter to the future describing today what life was. Here is my version.

Creation Then & Now - Aleenah

RE (Week 4 Pt 1)

For RE, we were to reflect on the creation of God and how gifted we are with nature. So, my class was to design a before and now concept of our garden. Well my garden hasn't been tended in a while and I believe that it would've looked like a jungle. Here is my representation.

Goat Island! - Aleenah

 The Picturesque Wonders Of Goat Island

Goat Island is one of NZ's most exquisite marine reserves and summer destinations, with its vibrant life of nature and creatures. Photos of the area are amazing, perfect for a collage. I was to form one a reading task relating to the study of marine reserves, inspired by the expanding of one in the Galapagos Islands.

Promoting Of The BiciBike! - Aleenah

 The BiciBike Party!

This week my class was introduced to the BiciBike party in Barcelona, where kids there bike, skate and scoot to school. My teacher thought it would be a fun idea for the class to create a poster concept promoting it but here in Panmure. For the record, this is just for creative purposes only! Not only that, she also tasked us in designing a bike mobile fit to carry 3 children. Here is my take on those tasks.

St Martin De Porres - Aleenah

St Martin De Porres

Today is the beloved feast day of St. Martin De Porres, who was a man of little self-desire and only wanted what was best for other people. Under here I wrote little bit about him!

St Martin De Porres, Patron Saint of social justice and mixed-race people, descent from his free-indigenous mother and Spanish nobleman father, was born on December 9, 1519.  At the time, mixed-race people were looked down on and had little privilege, certainly unfair for Martin’s family.  I’m sure the racism would’ve been worse in that era but it didn’t seem to bother him too much as he grew in generosity, thoughtfulness and faith. He began to practice spiritual and religious prayers at the early age of 10 which stood with him all the way until his deathbed. Yet, when he started, his fame grew as it was quite uncommon for a child to be so involved in religious life. This later got him an apprenticeship as a barber. A barber in the 15th century was not only a hair stylist but also a medical pharmacy and wound dresser. To his surprise, Martin was skilled and praised for his ability to heal even the scariest infections which earned him several demanded sessions and love from the people of Peru. 

It is of course known that St. Martin De Porres was a selfless man ready to offer the pitied people on streets his medical experience and justice. Everybody appreciated his presence as he would always be kind, accepting & loving to anybody of race.

Flying & Soaring - Aleenah

 Flying & Soaring

As per usual, my class starts with our decisive and descriptive writing piece to warm up our brains. As per no surprise, it was a would you rather! this time we would either be invisible or be able to fly.

"If I ever had to choose between these two abilities, I would hope they would be part of my DNA. Specifically the genetics of flight! With such an advantage it would allow me to reach the peaks of impossibility or even space. To be invisible isn’t bad but sometimes I already feel invisible among the 7 billion population on Earth which is still growing by the way. Though I guess that would come in handy when playing hide and seek….. But I really would not hesitate to soar straight through the clouds, atmosphere and maybe planets! Yet it is only possible if a human could fly."

Dancer Or Singer? - Aleenah

Dancer Or Singer? 

Today's morning was like usual, I enter my class meet as quietly as I can and we start of with our brains empowered with a few descriptive language ready for writing! Now today I would rather be a amateur dancer!

"A dancer and singer are both in the entertainment industry! Everybody in the world is familiar with these professions because they keep our lives lively. A singer composes lyrics of artistry and rhyme while a dancer uses their body as an instrument, moving to the beat of the sound. I honestly don’t feel myself to match ANY these skills but I guess I would prefer to be a dancer. I know I won’t be good but at least I won’t crack my voice in an anticipating crowd. Though maybe dancing in a team can hide me, well I most likely won't choose solo dancing! My overthinking, embarrassing mind would prevent me from being solo as a singer but maybe as a dancer I won’t have to worry too much about any faults."
